Imperative Verbs

Positive Tu Imperatives
Formed by taking the 3rd person singular present tense form and adding a grave accent to the final vowel. Verbs in the Notare pattern do not undergo their normal stem change in this case.
Examples:
Notà!- Swim
Traiè!- Pull
Odè- Hear
Unescè!- Unite

Several verbs have irregular positive tu imperatives:
Spoiler:
Amblare:
Bere:
Cherere: Chier
Clòre: Clò
Dare:
Docere:
Dolere: Dolè
Dure: Du
Ḑire: Ḑi
Essere: É
Estre: Sii
Cocere: Cocè
Fare:
Havere:
Lere:
Mettre:
Morire: Můr
Movere:
Sapere:
Sedere: Sied (reflexive form irregularly contracts to Siette instead of regular Siedte)
Ştare: Ştà
Valere: Vàl
Vedere:
Venire: Vien
Tenere: Tien
When those of the imperatives above that are in italics are followed by a pronoun, the pronoun attaches to the imperative and if possible the starting letter is geminated e.g: Vello! (look at it). The pronoun ii is simplified to -i in this case and, similar to Italian, the pronoun loro doesn't connect or geminate with the verbs like all the others. For Dare and Fare’s imperatives the vowel quality changes from [ɑ] to [ä] outside of the forms Dai and Fai.


Negative Tu Imperatives
Identical to the 3rd person singular present tense form
Examples:
Non nůta!- Don't swim
Non traie!- Don't pull
Non òde!- Don't hear
Non unesce!- Don't unite

5 verbs have irregular negative tu imperatives:
Essere: Ede
Estre: Esse
Fare: Face
Havere: Have
Sapere: Sape


Nos Imperatives
Identical to the 1st person plural present subjunctive form
Examples:
Notemo!- Let's swim
Tragamo!- Let's pull
Oḑamo!- Let's hear
Unamo!- Let's unite


Vos Imperatives
Identical to the 2nd person plural present tense form
Examples:
Notate!- Swim
Traiete!- Pull
Odite!- Hear
Unite!- Unite

Only one verb has an irregular vos imperative:
Amblare: Ite

Past Participles
Past participles are used alongside conjugated verbs to create compound tenses. Left is for -are verbs, middle is for -ere/-re verbs, right is for -ire verbs. -ndre and -mbre verbs undergo the same stem change as they typically do.

Regular Endings
-ato/-uto/-ito


Irregular Past Participles
The majority of these are irregular in the preterite as well. Those irregular in the past participle but not in the preterite are italicized. All verbs ending in -ngre (with the exception of pengre) irregularly form their past participle by removing -ng- and adding the ending -nto

Compound Tenses
Compound tenses consist of a conjugated form of *Havere in the appropriate tense followed by a past participle

*The following 12 verbs use Estre as the auxiliary instead:
Spoiler:
Ascendre- Go Up/Ascend
Cadere- Fall
Escire- Leave/Exit/Go Out
Morire- Die
Nascre- Be Born
Revenire- Return/Come Back
Rîtorcre- Come Home/Return Home
Scadere- Go Down/Decline
Scendre- Come Down/Descend
Splicare- Arrive
Ştare- Stay/Stand/Be
Venire- Come
Present Perfect: Present + Past Participle
Relatively straightforward. Equivalent to English's own present perfect. Some adverbs such as sò (just) and ga (already/yet) are only used alongside perfect tenses.
L'ho sò visto.- I just saw him.

Past Anterior: Past + Past Participle
Used similarly to the pluperfect but less frequently. Stresses that an event in the past occurred immediately before another event in the past. Often replaced with the pluperfect in casual conversation.
Lo vidi dêpoché fuţi splicato.- I saw him right after you had arrived.

Compound Pluperfect: Imperfect + Past Participle
Pluperfect form used to stress that an action was occurring habitually in the past before another event in the past. Often replaced with the simple pluperfect in casual conversation but not nearly as often as the past anterior is
Îl aveva atto garib qua splicaţi- He had been acting strange when you arrived.

Future Perfect: Future + Past Participle
Similar in use to that of other Romance languages. Typically translated as "will have" in English
Horlò visto qua splicaràs- I will have seen him when you arrive

Conditional Perfect: Conditional + Past Participle
Similar in use to that in Italian, Spanish, etc. Most often encountered in if-then clauses.
S'io lo videsse, îl horrea atto garib- If I had seen him, he would've been acting strange.

Preterite Subjunctive: Subjunctive Present + Past Participle
Used as both the preterite and present perfect for verbs in the subjunctive mood.
Inşallà l'heas visto- I hope you saw him.

Pluperfect Subjunctive: Subjunctive Imperfect + Past Participle
Used as the pluperfect, past anterior, and compound pluperfect for verbs in the subjunctive mood.
Inşallà îl hosse atto garib qua splicaţi- I hope he wasn't acting strange when you arrived

Perfect Infinitive: Infinitive + Past Participle
Similar to other Romance languages. Commonly encountered after prepositions and conjugated verb forms
Voglio haverlo visto înan mâne- I want to see him by tomorrow

Personal Pronouns
Unlike nouns, pronouns have unique forms in the accusative and genitive cases. In the accusative and dative cases, some pronouns have 2 distinct forms: a strong pronoun used when alone or after prepositions, and a weak form used alongside verbs (typically before it). If a pronoun has a bolded form, that's its unique strong form.
Io: First Person Singular
Spoiler:
Nominative: Io
Accusative: Me/M'
Dative: Mî / Mi
Genitive: Mei
Instrumental-Comitative: Meco
Tu: Second Person Singular Informal
Spoiler:
Nominative: Tu
Accusative: Te/T'
Dative: Tî / Ti
Genitive: Tui
Instrumental-Comitative: Teco
Îl: Third Person Singular Masculine
Spoiler:
Nominative: Îl
Accusative: Lo/L' / Lui
Dative: Gli
Genitive: Lui
Instrumental-Comitative: Luico
Ella: Third Person Singular Femine
Spoiler:
Nominative: Ella
Accusative: La/L' / Lei
Dative: Le
Genitive: Lei
Instrumental-Comitative: Leico
Ello: Third Person Singular Neuter
Spoiler:
Nominative: Ello
Accusative: Lo/L' / Lui
Dative: Gli
Genitive: Lui
Instrumental-Comitative: Luico
Ladàm: Third Person Singular Indefinite
I'll go more into this later, but the pronoun ladàm works just like a proper noun and thus isn't declined like nouns and pronouns

Nos: First Person Plural
Spoiler:
Nominative: Nos
Accusative: Na/N' / Nos
Dative: Na/N' / Noi
Genitive: Noi
Instrumental-Comitative: Nosco
Vos: Second Person Plural/Second Person Formal
Spoiler:
Nominative: Vos
Accusative: Vî / Vi
Dative: Vî / Vi
Genitive: Voi
Instrumental-Comitative: Vosco
Vosi: Second Person Extremely Formal
Spoiler:
Nominative: Vosi
Accusative: Vî/ Vosi
Dative: Vî / Voses
Genitive: Voses
Instrumental-Comitative: Vósico
Egli/Elle/Ella: Third Person Plural
Spoiler:
Nominative: Egli (m.), Elle (f.), Ella (n.)
Accusative: Ii
Dative: Loro
Genitive: Loro
Instrumental-Comitative: Îco
Se: Third Person Reflexive
Spoiler:
Accusative: Se/S'
Dative: Sî / Si
Genitive: Sei
Instrumental-Comitative: Seco
Ne
Ne is used instead of de plus a third person pronoun. Generally has the meanings "of it/him/her/them" and "from it/him/her/them/there"

Phonetic Changes In Pronouns
Pronouns undergo several changes when used in various tenses and in combination with one another

Before The Verb
In most tenses, the pronoun is placed before the verb. If two pronouns occur before a verb, they combine in the following ways:
Spoiler:
Me+Tî=Metti
Me+Gli=Megli
Me+Le=Melle
Me+Na=Menna
Me+Vî=Mevvi
Me+Loro=Me loro
Me+Ne=Menne

Te+Mî=Temmi
Te+Gli=Tegli
Te+Le=Telle
Te+Na=Tenna
Te+Loro=Te loro
Te+Ne=Tenne

Mî+Lo=Mello
Tî+Lo=Tello
Gli+Lo=Gliello
Le+Lo=Lello
Na+Lo=Nallo
Vî+Lo=Vello
Lo+Loro=Lo loro
Sî+Lo=Sello

Mî+La=Mella
Tî+La=Tella
Gli+La=Gliella
Le+La=Lella
Na+La=Nalla
Vî+La=Vella
La+Loro=La loro
Sî+La=Sella

Na+Mî=Nammi
Na+Tî=Natti
Na+Gli=Nagli
Na+Le=Nalle
Na+Vî=Navvi
Na+Loro=Na loro
Na+Ne=Nanne

Vî+Mî=Vemmi
Vî+Gli=Vegli
Vî+Le=Velle
Vî+Na=Venna
Vî+Loro=Ve loro
Vî+Ne=Venne

Mî+Ii=Mii
Tî+Ii=Tii
Gli+Ii=Glii
Le+Ii=Lei
Na+Ii=Nai
Vî+Ii=Vii
Ii+Loro=Ii loro
Sî+Ii=Sii

Gli+Ne=Glienne
Le+Ne=Lenne
Loro+Ne=Loro ne
Note that even before vowels, compound pronouns do not contract further in this situation

Future/Conditional
In the future and conditional tenses, the pronoun is placed between the stem and the verb. Combined pronouns generally undergo the same changes as when they occur before the verb with a few additions:
-Those ending in -me/-te/-lo/-la/-le/-na/-vî/-se/-ne change the ending to -m/-t/-l/-l/-lei/-n/-v/-s/-nei
-Those ending in -ii typically remain the same unless it's the pronoun Ii itself which changes to -i in that case
-Those ending in ending -mi/-ti/-vi remain the same if not a compound pronoun but change to -m/-t/-v otherwise
-Loro attaches to the pronoun before or after it. If it's the ending pronoun it changes to -lor

Positive Imperative/Infinitive
In these 2 forms, the pronoun is placed after the verb. Only a few minor changes happen in this situation:
-The accusative pronouns attach to the infinitive/imperative form
-Mî/Tî/Vî/Sî become Mi/Ti/Vi/Si
-Dative pronouns (except for loro) and Ne attach to the infinitive/imperative form when they are not preceded by an accusative pronoun (or a dative in Ne's case) . When they are, they are instead placed after the infinitive as a separate word

Nominative Pronoun Use
Islogian is a pro-drop language and so nominative pronouns have a fairly limited use compared to other languages. They're commonly used alone (especially as the answer to questions) and to stress the subject of a sentence. In the imperfect, conditional, present subjunctive, and imperfect subjunctive tenses as well as the preterite for regular -ire verbs, the pronouns io, îl, ella, and ello are far more often included than dropped due to the first-person singular and third-person singular forms in these tenses being the same. Although it's still completely grammatically correct to drop them in these tenses, the occurrence of this is fairly rare in spoken language despite being commonplace in poetry.

La Synphóniamia d’Ottobre
I figured I should post some more samples of the language, and as I've been listening to My October Symphony by Pet Shop Boys a lot lately I figured it'd be a good choice to cover [:)]

Tanto de confúsio
Quand otonno splica
Che fare sur Ottobre?
Como sorridere po cronto?
È diffìcile a sederse

È mol sconcertante
Annullaràn al istràd?
Marşavamo cat’ Ottobre
Hara ḑicon che non fomo nicionca salvati
Dôvemo estre mol bravi

Rescrivrò ò revedrò
Synphóniamia d’Ottobre?
Ò como indicaţo
Cambiarò la dedicaţo
D’ittilàl fa revelaţo?
Ascì toti de nos bevemo
Ten fogli caḑon alla terra
Perché havemo pensato
Como Ottobre n’ha deluduto
Allora et hara

Memorarnemo
Decembre alůco?
Ò soltarnemo su Şubat?
Plangremo mòrtinostri desolato per al harbe
Chi non vedràn onca rosso?
Rescrivrò ò revedrò
Synphóniamia d’Ottobre?
Ò como indicaţo
Cambiarò la dedicaţo
D’ittilàl a revelaţo?

Original Lyrics:
Spoiler:
So much confusion
When autumn comes around
What to do about October
How to smile behind a frown?
It's hard to settle down

It's so bemusing
Will they cancel the parade?
We marched each October
Now they say we were never even saved
We must be very brave

Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?

So we're all drinking
As leaves fall to the ground
Because we've been thinking
How October's let us down
Then and now

Shall we remember
December instead?
Or worry about February?
Mourn our war-torn dead
Never seeing red?

Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?

No, please keep going! I haven't had a lot of time lately, so I haven't gotten the chance to read your recent posts thoroughly, but I'm definitely still interested, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. As long as you want to keep posting, you won't be posting "too much".

Thanks [<3] . I'd love to work on Thrinn but I don't have a ton of time at the moment and part of me would feel bad about having 2 languages show up at the same time on the front page quite a bit. Plus I don't really know what else to cover for Thrinn. I'm open to any ideas though [:D]

Relative Pronouns

Chi (used for animate objects)
Nominative/Accusative: Chi
Dative: Cui
Genitive: Cuio
Instrumental-Comitative: Quoco

Che (used for inanimate objects)
Nominative/Accusative: Che
Dative: Cui
Genitive: Cuio
Instrumental-Comitative: Quico

Ove (used for places)
Location: Ove
Movement Towards: Adove
Movement Away: Dove

Prepositional Relative Pronouns
Typically prepositions precede the relative pronoun to their appropriate case. However the prepositions that combine with the definite articles have irregular relative pronouns:
Áu = A + Chi/Che
Ande = A + Cui
Du = De + Chi/Che
Donde = De + Cui
Nu = Î + Chi/Che
Nonde = Î + Cui
Quandu = Quande + Chi/Che
Quandonde = Quande + Cui
= Su + Chi/Che
Sonde = Su + Cui

Proper Nouns
Unlike other nouns, proper nouns are both capitalized and typically indeclinable. Any adjectives or other declinable words within the proper noun however, are still declined (such as "stato" meaning state). Additionally proper nouns do have periphrastic constructions that convey the same meaning case endings when used alongside certain prepositions: A is used before a proper noun to show the dative case, De is used to show the genitive case, and Co is used to show the instrumental-comitative case. Even if a proper noun consists solely of declinable words, it uses this periphrastic construction in addition to the required case endings.

Allà
Allà (God) is arguably the only irregular proper noun. After vowel sounds, the word is contracted into 'llà [lˤːɑ]. Instead of using the prevocalic forms of prepositions and conjunctions that have them, Allà instead uses the regular form while contracting itself to 'llà (e.g: de 'llà instead of d'Allà)

Where did the irregular prepositional relative pronouns come from?
(Also in your last post I think you mispelled 'comitative' as 'cogitative')

And you Ms. Pelled 'misspelled' as 'misspelt' (I dunno about Britain, but in the US spelt is a grain, not the past of spell.)
Let's not take over All4Ɇn's post any longer.
